• Large numbers give us a large selection to cull heavily on feet, constitution, dags – the basics that farmers want to improve in their flocks.

• We lamb hoggets and have done so for the past 25 years. Lambs are tagged at birth – chance to assess maternal abilities.

.• Mothering ability is important so we do a lot of culling at lambing time to only bring forward the best mothers to breed from. The class of country that our genetics are going to can’t afford ewes that aren’t easy care.

• Full EID in all animals, with significant investment in developing software to make the most of our data collection. New updates are happening all the time.

• We sell local, with a large client base in the Wairarapa, and a satellite flock in the South Island. There is constant exchange of Romney genetics between the North Island and South Island flocks.

• Proven testing ground. Experience has shown that if stock perform well in the Wairarapa climate they will shift well nationwide.

• We work with the stock ourselves and Jason is personally involved in day-to-day management.
